Free supercharging seems to be pretty sweet. I worked on fast chargers for 4 years (Mostly CCS/Chademo), and the one thing that I didn't like about the thing was how expensive it was. Cost per km is higher than petrol if you only use fast chargers.

well for the few months i did pay, it was about $0.21 or $0.27 a kw. Basically i could go from 10%-90% for about $15. So for $15 i would get about 280 ish miles, not too shabby. Not sure what superchargers go for for now.

Woah. Right now it's € 0.74 per kWh. So those 280 miles are around €50.

At €7/gallon of petrol, your mileage needs to be approx 40mpg or better to be cheaper with an ICE (Oil changes and other factors not included).

Those are some crazy energy prices! But Europe is going brought some shot with Russia so hopefully once everything settles and dependencies for energy from les stable countries is fixed those prices can come back down.
